Edmonton Wedding Photographers | Nicole & Nicholas | Enjoy Centre wedding in St Albert

Yesterday I blogged Leanne & Tyler’s wedding, so it just made sense to blog Nicole & Nicholas’ wedding the day after since their weddings were back to back this past August. I started out with the ladies at Nicole’s parents home where I got to photograph lots of shoes (my favourite!!) while the girls were getting ready. We headed off to the church for the ceremony where I cught my first glimpse of Nicholas that day. He was so sweet watching Nicole come down the aisle with tears welling in his eyes. After the ceremony we headed to the U of A campus for family photos and a few with the wedding party before hitting the Royal Alberta Museum for a few more. The reception was at the Enjoy Centre, a fabulous new facility in St Albert, so we took a few more photos around there before heading into the gorgeous reception in the Moonflower Room. It was a gorgeous day and I just love looking back at the photos and remembering the fun we had!

Look at all those pretty shoes!

I melt when I see the look on Nicholas’ face when he sees Nichole come down the aisle.

Edmonton Wedding Photographers | Leanne & Tyler | Union Bank Inn wedding

I can’t believe it’s been more than five months since Leanne & Tyler’s fabulous wedding at the Union Bank Inn! I started the day at Leanne’s Parents home for the girls getting ready before heading downtown to the Union Bank Inn for the ceremony. I love looking back at these photos and just watching Tyler’s face light up every time he looked at Leanne! It was so sweet! After the ceremony we headed off to the High Level bridge and to my favourite parkade for the “formal” photos. They had such a great wedding party too! We finished up the night back at the the Union Bank Inn where there were lots of laughs and lots of tears (my favourite!). We had such a great time and I”m so happy I was able to witness a celebration of so much love!!

Leanne had such a pretty dress!

Edmonton Lifestyle Photographer | urban portrait shoot with Amy

I know, I know, I still have a TON of weddings and portraits left to blog from the summer, but I just could resist posting a few from this mini session with Amy in a spot that I’ve been dying to photograph for ages. I have to admit, I really missed photography in edgier and grittier spots around the city and hope to get back to my old edgy style! This session with Amy totally reminded me why I love shooting in the city! Here’s a few of my favourites! Oh, and have I mentioned I’ve fallen back in love with black and white photos!!

Edmonton Photographer | Gorgeous new albums for weddings & boudoir

Oh boy I am ever excited about these new albums! They are absolutely stunning and they are just the perfect album to show off your wedding, or if you are that daring, they make a great boudoir album as well! The cover is totally customizable and it feels awesome! The pages of the album are meant to be touched and have a great silk feel. This is an album you’ll cherish for many years and is meant to be an heirloom (well, I don’t know if you’d want the family to have your boudoir album, but definitely pass along the wedding album!). These albums have a super fast turnaround time so you don’t have to wait months for them! Love them! Can’t wait to show you more of them!

Edmonton Wedding Photographer | Tierza & Matthew | Northern Bear Golf Course Wedding

Tierza and Matthew got married on a VERY warm day back in July. We met up with Matthew at their home where we took a few shots of everyone just hanging out and then a few family photos before heading off to meet up with Tierza and the girls for getting ready pictures. Well, we thought there would be getting ready pictures, but she was so excited to get ready that is was all done by the time we got there! So, we hung out in the back yard for photos and watched Tierza catch frogs (I honestly didn’t think there were frogs in Alberta, so I got a bit freaked out when one hopped at me! It’s been a long time since I’d seen them back East!) before heading over to the Northern Bear Golf course for the outdoor ceremony on the patio. After the ceremony, we stuck around the golf course doing photos before heading back to the reception early to do the cake cutting before it fell over from the heat. It was a great day and we had lots of fun!

A little bit of getting ready silliness.

I love how Moms can fix everything by licking, and they still do it, even when you are old enough to married!

Gosh, the hugs are sweet.

I’ve never seen a bride catch frogs on her wedding day before! We didn’t make Tierza kiss it since she already had her prince!
